2023 ACTO Summit

[edit]

In January 2023, Brazil announced it was hosting the 2023 Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization Summit in August in the same year.[1] The Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia were invited to attend in order to represent the Congo and Borneo and Sumatra rainforests respectively. Brazil also invited France to attend and join the organization, as France holds territory in the Amazon through its department of French Guiana.[2]
